*NCBI Gene ID:3798734
*RefSeq#: VBIShiDys99784_1106
*Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#: RefSeq YP_402621.2
*Organism (including strain): Shigella dysenteriae Sd197 (strain: Sd197, serotype: 1)
Etiologic Risk Group (see link below): Risk Group 2 (RG2) - Bacterial Agents Including Chlamydia
*Background/Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up):
Shigella dysenteriae infection: Shigella dysenteriae is a species of bacteria from the Shigella genus. Dysenteriae is the most common cause of epidemic dysentery in condensed populations such as refugee camps. Infection usually occurs through the fecal-oral route. Infection can be transmitted between people unless appropriate hygiene measures are undertaken. Further, Shigella dysenteriae is associated with the development of Hemolytic uremic syndrome, which includes anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal failure.

Enzyme Assay information (spectrophotometric, coupled assay ?, reagents):
Tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins play a critical role during many processes of the immune system, from early development to fully differentiated effector function. Since the opposing actions of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) determine the steady state level of tyrosine phosphorylation on a given protein, it is often important for mechanistic studies to determine the specific activities of PTKs and PTPs. Dephosphorylation of the chromogenic substrate pNPP generates p-nitrophenol, which at an alkaline pH has an intense yellow color that can be measured at 405 nm using a spectrophotometer (Read absorbance at 405 nm).
